CARLISLE — The 2012-13 girls’ basketball season has become a search for not only an identity and a future, but also the Waynesboro Maidens’ first win.

On Monday, head coach Doug Stuart’s squad went on the road to Carlisle to face a former division opponent. The Maidens were competitive, but in the end had some trouble containing the Thundering Herd’s Megan Bisker, who put up 22 points to lead the home team to their first win of the season, 48-33 in an inter-divisional game.

“It was a good game for four quarters,” Stuart said of Monday’s game, which ended in a snowy ride home for the Maidens. “I thought we were in the game all the way through. Our kids played aggressive and inspired. It wasn’t a bad performance from them.

“I think this was the first team we outrebounded, and the way our season has been, it’s still a good sign our kids played hard.”

Waynesboro senior inside player Dori Kozain led her team with 18 points, eight rebounds and nine blocked shots. Lauren Wagaman had six points, three rebounds and two blocks, while Mallory Patterson had five rebounds.

“Dori was pretty active for four quarters,” Stuart said. “She was going to the basket aggressivley and making things happen for us.

“Hunter Mowen’s defense has really picked up and Lauren Wagaman hit some shots early and did a nice job. Mallory played strong and did a nice job on the defensive end for us. Kennedy Chandler is starting to feel comfortable at the varsity level. She’s starting to play a lot of minutes.”

Carlisle (1-20) led 12-6 after the first quarter and took a 23-12 lead into the locker room at halftime. It was 36-24 after three quarters of play.

“The thing that hurts us is we work hard defensively to get a stop and we don’t get a shot off on the offensive end,” Stuart said. “When we get a stop, we have to get a shot off. I bet in the second quarter, when it was pretty tight, we went down five times and didn’t get a shot off. Every possession is important to us. We don’t get a lot of opportunities.”

Carlisle won the junior varsity game, 31-22.

Chandler led the Maidens in scoring with 11 points. Deb Rosenberger followed her with seven points.
